I agree. Many of the more disagreeable characters have been heavy:
Uncle Vernon, Dudley (although he did redeem himself), Aunt Marge,
and Dolores Umbridge. Is it too much to ask for a positive heavy
character, particularly a female one? I do concede she does throw
us a bone with Neville-- he starts out the series as the proto-
typical stupid fat kid, he ends up being quite the brave character.
